I appreciate your efforts have kept us together, in existence and peace. Avoiding the polarizing.
I went off topic. So Triggered and choked by the fear of loss of more connection.
self censoring and avoiding politics (temperance) has also saved some of my family relationships
This survival skill feels insidious.
@nona I'm sorry. I think we have to see how things turn after the election. See where we're at. I'm talking about all of society, not this site.
If we become more oppressed, it can be quite dangerous. I mean, social credit scores and such. We're so isolated, we don't know if people are dead or alive.
This is why I have tried to bring up things I've learned from now-dead smart people, who lived through periods like this. Survived periods like this, I mean.
Anyway, you are a real sweetheart; just a really good and kind, smart, solid character with a loving soul. I am sorry you're suffering with fears, it's easily understandable, but jeez. You are precious to everyone (sane) who knows you. I think you'll be all right.
What a disturbing article!. Yes, I know it’s likely, as I’ve already been experiencing over-simplified search engine results with limited/if any credentials. The general public need and deserve access to free peer reviewed journal articles. On certain topics such as medicine/psychology, I refuse to read or trust anything less than.
Awe.You so sweet to say all those nice things about me 
Censorship in most forms really triggers me. I trust and respect your lead in this situation. The temperance I have learned here has benefitted me. Being able to keep my mouth shut with grace in any situation was a skill I lacked. So thank you.
I have a sense it's gonna get way worse. Its a paradox. Getting good at being censored. Living in an abusive media. I dont wanna be in Stockholm again.
I dont wanna be in Stockholm again.
I don't think you will be, but also, many already are.
You just don't seem that compromising to me. I could be wrong. I am talking about "Stockholm Syndrome" here. It's all over the place.
